Cheng Beiyou saw Xiao Qi looking at the back of Sister-in-law Wang's departure, frowning and thinking, could it be that he knew him? p>

"Brother Cheng, didn't this little lady say where she is from?" When Lan Yi and Cheng Beiyou talked about buying sauerkraut in Beigou Village, Xiao Qi happened to go to weigh the vegetables and settle the money but didn't hear it. p>

"Say, Beigou Village, not far south of the city. Beigou Village, isn't it ......" Cheng Beiyou also reflected the p >

Xiao Qi clenched his right hand into a fist and slapped the palm of his left hand and smiled: "Yes, what Liuzi said should be her." ”p>

"Well, sixteen years old, with a pretty face, literate and hyphenated, intelligent and quick-witted...... This is not bad, but it is a lot worse in terms of 'stable temperament'. Cheng Beiyou remembered what Liuzi had said and pouted, such an ordinary action made him, a man with a full face look a little weird, Xiao Qi couldn't help but take a few steps back. p>

"This little ** knows that the Fengle Building opposite is the property of the Xia family, as long as she shows her friendship with the eldest girl of the Xia family, the shopkeeper of Fengle Building will definitely take a few glances, and the price is only higher than what we give here." Cheng Beiyou didn't notice Xiao Qi's uncomfortable and constipated look, looked at the direction of Lan Yi's departure and continued, "But she bypassed Fengle Building to come to us, and she definitely didn't want to rely on this relationship anymore." Interesting, interesting! Cheng Beiyou turned around and walked into the room, Xiao Qi followed up and whispered: "Do you still need to inform Brother Xia about this matter, the sixth son said that the eldest girl of the Xia family entrusted Brother Xia to take care of this little woman." ”p>

"You don't have to go alone, just mention it another day. Since she doesn't want to rely on the relationship of the Xia family for everything, Xia Chongxiao doesn't care if she doesn't know, and we won't cheat her on these two dishes. ”p>

Xiao Qi nodded, Xia Wan's eldest brother Xia Chongxiao did not know much about the matter of holding sixty percent of Lexiangju's shares, and the relationship between the Xia family was complicated and tentacled, so there was no need to make trouble about this trivial matter. p>

Lan Yi took more than five taels of silver to the grocery store to buy some daily necessities, and then went to the bookstore to rummage through the refurbished books before riding a donkey home satisfied. p>

Not long after Zhou Weiji rode out of the city, he saw Lan Yi riding a donkey in front of him. p>

Now it's just a light snow season, Zhou Weiji only feels that it is just right to add a layer of satin clothes in autumn, but Lan Yi is wearing a cotton suit and a rabbit skin hat. Zhou Weiji couldn't help frowning, looking up at the sky, if it was a cold day, what should this little woman do? p>

"Brother and sister, is this going back to the village?" Zhou Wei hurried a few steps to grab the reins of the horse, allowing the big black horse to slow down and walk with Lan Yi's donkey. The big black horse knows human nature, bows his head and clamps the little donkey's eyes, and walks with his head up and chest. p>

This low voice and the familiar sound of horses' hooves actually made Lan Yi a little nervous, and she sighed in her heart, it seemed that it was impossible to bow her head and pretend not to hear. p>

"Yes, is Brother Tuesday also going back to the village?" p>

"Yes. It's cold now, and my younger siblings should choose noon when they enter the city. Zhou Weiji looked at her palm-sized face, the wind-blown red nose and moist eyes, and was a little worried, is it still cold to wear so much? p>

The unmistakable concern in his tone made Lan Yi nervous: "It's something that has been delayed for a while." Second brother, go back to the village first, it's getting late. ”p>

Zhou Weiji rode his horse to the upwind outlet to block the cold wind for Lan Yi, and asked as usual: "Brother and sister, I will go to the county government of Dongpingmei County in a few days to do business, I wonder if you have any letters to take back home?" ”p>

Lan Yi tightened the reins in her hand and refused directly: "I have asked someone to bring things back a few days ago, so I won't trouble Brother Tuesday." ”p>

In Meixian County, Dongping, Lan Yi was planning to secretly ask someone to go to Dongping to inquire about Wang Tiangui after she had the silver in her hand, but she didn't dare to let Liuzi and the others know, not to mention Zhou Weiji, who lived next to her and didn't know about it! If you ask him to inquire, according to his intuition and reasoning ability to catch fast, it is equivalent to exposing himself and the baby's life experience to others, which is too risky, and Lan Yi does not dare to take risks. p>

Zhou Weiji couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart, but he quickly pressed down: "Brother and sister, it should snow this day, it is inconvenient to enter and exit after the snow covers the mountain, you might as well prepare more firewood." "After the snow, the weather is even colder, and she is so afraid of the cold that she still needs to prepare more firewood. p>

Zhou Weiji changed his silent image in the past and frequently showed concern in front of him, what did he mean? Lan Yi's heart beat a drum. p>

"Thank you second brother, the second uncle and the second and third brothers in the family have helped me prepare a lot of firewood, enough for winter." p>

That's it, no matter what he means, he just wants to take two children to live safely, this person makes her feel dangerous, and it's better to make less trouble. p>

The rejection and alienation in Lan Yi's tone Zhou Weiji understood it, he didn't react, just nodded and rode back to the village first. p>

"Is it going to snow this day?" Lan Yi raised her head, looking at the somewhat oppressive sky and worried, it was even colder when it snowed, right? Can the vegetables in the greenhouse stand it? p>

She has only seen and planted the greenhouse in modern times, and can only explore according to her own experience, the temperature control is not good, so the vegetables do not grow fast, and the vegetables will grow slower when the weather is cold, and it seems that the fire kang on both sides of the greenhouse has to be burned. "I have to go to the woods to chop some firewood while there is no snow, and I am afraid that those at home are not enough, so it is better to chop some pine and bamboo branches back." She didn't think that she had to rely on her second uncle's family to get firewood, and self-reliance was fundamental. Lan Yi returned home and put down her things and went to Chen's to pick up the two children home, Yu'er was no longer at home, and the baby and the big girl were sleeping on the kang side by side. p>

"Sister-in-law, you're back, how are the vegetables selling?" p>

"Well, according to what the third brother said, it was sold to Lexiangju, and the shopkeeper accepted it very well." Lan Yi took out a pack of dim sum that she bought in the county seat, "I bought mung bean shortbread and sesame cake that my two children love to eat, brother and sister, you can put it away." Lan Yi said softly, first, she was afraid of waking up the child, and second, she didn't want the second aunt in the yard to hear it, the second aunt's family was simple, and the silver had been spent harshly recently, and she was even more reluctant to buy snacks for the child. p>

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Daifuku and Yu'er went to the store at the edge of the village to play the dog hole, and the baby I was persuaded to come down with great difficulty, and I was about to wake up. Chen put the dim sum into the kang cabinet, and Lan Yi's intentions made her feel warm. p>

"Second aunt, are Lin Shan's younger brothers and sisters here?" There was a shout from the courtyard of the eight mothers and two sisters-in-law, and the voices of the people in the village were not small, and Lan Yi heard it very clearly in the house. p>

"In the house, come in." Aunt Wang put down the dustpan in her hand, clapped her hands and stood up. p>

The baby's eyelashes fluttered when he heard the shout, stretched out his little arm, opened his eyes to see his mother, and softly shouted "Mother." ”p>

Lan Yi kissed his hot little chubby face, and when she saw that the big girl was still asleep, she gently picked him up: "Baby, wake up, do you want to shhhh ”p>

"Shh The baby nods. p>

Lan Yi carried him to the outhouse, and when she saw the second aunt Li and the eighth sister-in-law who walked in, she responded in a low voice: "Second sister-in-law, come here." ”p>

When the second sister-in-law saw Lan Yi like this, she knew that there were still children asleep in the house, and she also whispered: "Well, there is something to do with my younger siblings." ”p>

"The second sister-in-law is polite, I'll pee on the child, you wait." p>

Out of the second uncle's house, the second sister-in-law patted the baby's white and tender little face, and said enviously: "This child is really smart, what good things do my brothers and sisters give him, this is a long sight." ”p>

"The two children are not picky, so they grow stronger, and the second sister-in-law has something to do with me?" p>

"Hehe, yes, it's not a guest at home, I want to pull two greens from my brother and sister and go back to add a dish to set the table." The second sister-in-law looked at Lan Yi happily, with a golden light in her eyes, and an expression of "you hurry up and ask me who is coming". p>

Lan Yi was looked at by her and smiled, and asked casually, "The second sister-in-law's house has a distinguished guest?" ”p>

After the vegetables in Lan Yi's greenhouse grew up, familiar people in the village came to see it a few times, and they all said that it was a good thing. Originally, there were also two mind-eye activities that wanted to be built, but now that they are frozen, and this greenhouse needs two or three taels of silver to build, they have stopped. Everyone knows that this vegetable is rare and valuable in winter, so when there are guests at home, they will also go to Lan Yi to buy a few to save face. p>

"It's the matchmaker in Zhoujia Village next door, she gave a kid in the big picture, and brought it over tomorrow to look at each other." The second sister-in-law couldn't stop laughing, she also liked that kid she had seen, and it would be best if she could recruit her family to be her son-in-law. p>

"This is a good thing, congratulations to the second sister-in-law. The celery has not grown yet, but these few can be eaten, so you can pick and pluck it. Lan Yi took her and the baby directly into the greenhouse, as the weather turned colder, the temperature difference between inside and outside the greenhouse became larger, and after entering, there was a hot breath on the face, and the green eyes made people can't help but take a few more breaths. p>

The second sister-in-law smiled and nodded, "It's hot here, my brother and sister should take off the child's jacket." Why is there so much less of this dish, and my younger siblings picked it up and sold it in the city? ”p>

"Yes, our mother couldn't finish eating, so we picked up some in the city and sold some." Lan Yi took off the baby's coat, put him on a kang mattress near the fire in the greenhouse, took the warm teapot and poured water for him to drink. On weekdays, the baby and Yu'er play in the greenhouse, so Lan Yi paved this place, and even moved the bath bucket and screen at home to a corner of the greenhouse, so that she was not afraid of the cold when taking a bath here. p>

"This must have sold for a lot of silver, right?" The second sister-in-law picked up a few large spinach trees, cut a small handful of leeks and stopped, took out ten cents and handed it to Lan Yi. p>

Lan Yi's subordinates said with a smile: "There are not many, but vegetables are scarce in this winter, and a pound is sold for thirty-five wen, I plan to pull some cotton for the children to make cotton clothes, and this day I see that it is going to snow." ”p>

When the second sister-in-law heard this, she took a sharp breath: "I'm a relative!" It's almost time for the meat money! Brother and sister, this is not good, I will take the money next time and come over to make it up for you. ”p>

Lan Yi waved her hand and said no, but the eighth wife and the second sister-in-law muttered and left. Although the second sister-in-law is good at gossiping, she is honest and enthusiastic, and she is not greedy for small gains, otherwise she would not have such a good popularity in the village. p>

Lan Yi deliberately told her second sister-in-law the price of the dish. Since the vegetables at home have grown, there are also a few greedy people who come to Lan Yi's house to ask for a few vegetables to go back, but Lan Yi doesn't want to get used to this problem. Now suing the second sister-in-law for the price of vegetables is equivalent to suing the whole village for the price of vegetables, and if someone comes to beg for food, they have to weigh the price of this dish, and Lan Yi can deal with it. p>

She doesn't think it's okay to provide green vegetables to good people, but those who are not familiar with them are greedy and cheap, so she doesn't need to be polite. p>

Before the snow fell in the sky, the carriage sent by Cheng Beiyou arrived. The open-top carriage stopped under the old locust tree in the middle of the village and shouted, and the people in the village came out curiously to see that they had come to buy pickles, which was a rare thing in the village. PS: Thank you Banxia and cao for the peace charms and red envelopes, thank you for the recommended tickets sent by book friends, good morning everyone. p>
